Greetings.
I have tried everything I can to get Linux kernel debugging
symbols to work properly. I apologize for posting to so
many lists too, but I really need to get this working. I
traded a few emails with HJ Lu and he referred me to the
following messages/threads:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-08/msg00053.htmlhttp://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-08/msg00079.htmlhttp://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-08/msg00084.html
I did read them a few times and it appears that all the
necessary changes are in the current gdb and insight CVS
repositories. I checked out the latest sources a half
hour ago and compiled both gdb and insight using the
configuration line:
configure --prefix=/opt/tools --target=mipsel-linux-elf
since my target is a NEC 5432 running in LE mode. I had
also tried 'mips-linux-elf' targets earlier in the day
with no difference. I am still getting the following
mismatch in symbols:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS1
Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS1
0x80012828 in breakinst () at af_packet.c:1879
1879 sock_unregister(PF_PACKET);
(gdb) bt
#0 0x80012828 in breakinst () at af_packet.c:1879
#1 0x8001a0d4 in sys_create_module (name_user=0x10001dc8 "cfi_probe",
size=8176) at module.c:305
(gdb) c
Continuing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I compiled my kernel with a toolchain that used the following
versions of tools:
binutils-2.11.90.0.31 (HJLu patches applied)
gcc-3.0.1 (stock)
glibc-2.2.3 (minor build patches)
Things are still not working and I would greatly appreciate some
direction. I've blown a whole day this and am a bit frazzled.
Thanks a bunch in advance.
